A metal sign has blown off of a shop and into the middle of a busy junction in Grimsby due to strong winds.

The Bath Store on Grimsby's Victoria Street lost its sign at some point this morning due to the gale force winds that have ravaged North East Lincolnshire this morning.

The sign has blown from above the shop, based alongside a busy main road, and ended up in the middle of the Corporation Bridge junction, with one half wrapped around a lamppost and the other lying on the pavement.

A worker in a nearby shop said: "We arrived at the shop this morning and noticed that the sign was lying in the middle of the junction.

"With weather like this I am not sure what the store could have done, I don't think any shops should be open today.

"It is very lucky that this hasn't resulted in a nasty accident, the sign looks like it could have come off and landed in the middle of Victoria Street. If a car was coming past at the time it would have gone straight through the windshield."
